US Naval Carrier futures

LtSoucy · 06-12-2008, 05:16 PM

I know name may scare some people but the US Navy is cutting out older carriers for there new and upcoming Ford Class Supercarrier. The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-7

will replace the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) which would send CVN-65 the scrap yard. There are 2 other Ford class carriers set to be produced.
CVN-79 and CVN-80.

CVN-79 has received the proposed name of the USS Arizona in honor the battleship lost in Pearl Harbor. The CVN-80 may replace the USS Nimitz (CVN-6

in the US Naval Fleet. The 3 Ford Class Carriers are said to be completed by 2021.

What do you think about this?

there apears to be a minature B2 on the deck.

If they can continue to project force in a similar manner with them as the USN has done before i cannot see any issues.

I think that the 'B2' is supposed to be two blast redirectors

I think we should contact the makers of that model and get them to make a slightly more detailed version for PR

Joking aside, why does it have a tiny B2 on board?

LtSoucy · 06-12-2008, 05:36 PM

there are 4 blast protectors on this. 2 are right next to each other, and 1 is down. Current carriers only have 2 if that.

@Masaq:ya we should contact them, and in there free time building this, learn to model stuff for BF2, model it, skin and code and hand it over free of cost.

Maybe they're making a tiny B2?

Harrod200 · 06-12-2008, 05:44 PM

Ah I see it now. I'm sure I've seen something similar as a new UCAV...*checks*

No, maybe due to the size of this new type it can fit the B2 size. Who knows its the navy, this thing could have nukes under the decks.
